Smart Technology Adoption
Unsafe e‐waste handling practices pose serious risks to worker safety, environmental sustainability and the recovery of valuable materials in developing economies. Although smart technologies offer significant potential to improve e‐waste management, their adoption remains limited in the e‐waste sector businesses and underexplored in the e‐waste urban mining literature. Addressing this gap, this study examines the behavioural determinants of smar…
Digital Transformation on Green Operational Performance
Digital transformation (DT) is increasingly recognised as essential for improving environmental performance in process‐intensive and hazardous sectors; however, the mechanisms by which digitalisation translates into green operational performance (GOP) and environmental accountability remain insufficiently investigated, particularly in developing‐economy e‐waste contexts. Drawing on the Resource‐Based View (RBV) theory, this study examines how dig…
Pathways of household adaptiveness to climate risk
Communities in semi-arid regions, including farmers and livestock holders, are more likely to suffer from environmental stresses due to climate change volatility. Therefore, understanding the diverse pathways to community resilience and adaptability is imperative. This study explores the pathways of household adaptiveness to climate risks on Sumba Island, a semi-arid region in Eastern Indonesia characterised by smallholder livestock farming and f…
Children and adults’ perception of risk and risk management
Using participatory and qualitative methodologies, such as participatory risk assessment, mind mapping, risk ranking matrix, risk prioritisation and personal interviews, this research explored two domains of change: risk and risk management perceptions among three key stakeholders: children, their caring adults, and local public officials in a village in Central Java, Indonesia. The study focused on how these groups perceive and prioritise climat…
The multidimensional impacts of heatwaves on human ecosystems
Global warming continues to exacerbate heatwave severity, duration, and frequency causing impacts that threaten humanity, and the physical and anthropogenic environment. Although research on heatwave impacts has increased, the majority of studies have focused on social effects relegating to the background other crucial impacts. Such a narrow focus on social impacts limits the realization of a thorough understanding of the net impacts of heatwaves…

Circular economy and agricultural employment
Using data from 24 European advanced and emerging countries between 2000 and 2020, this paper examines the impacts of circular economy (CE) on agriculture employment (AE) and female employment patterns. Based on the availability of data, the study uses three CE indicators: generation of municipal waste (GMW) per capita, the recycling rate of municipal waste (RRMW), and patents related to recycling and secondary raw materials (PRSRM). To investiga…
Community resilience across Australia towards natural hazards
Natural hazards can turn into disasters when not managed well. An important part of disaster risk reduction is to understand how well communities are prepared for natural hazards and how well they can cope with and recover from shocks in the long term. This research assesses self-reported community resilience and asks what makes a community resilient, using Australia as a case study. It reports on an Australian-wide online survey which included q…
Influence of personal and collective social capital on flood preparedness and community resilience
Social capital constitutes an important resource in vulnerable cities of the developing world where formal disaster management capacities are weak, responses are limited, and socio-economic deprivations run deep along spatial dimensions. Yet, little is known about how the different types of social capital contribute to flood preparedness and better community resilience, particularly in informal settlement settings. Drawing on a survey of 391 resp…
Advancing a slum–circular economy model for sustainability transition in cities of the Global South
Understanding climate change adaptation in Ghana
This study examines the effect of climate change knowledge, anxiety, and experience on climate adaptation using survey data from 874 farmers in the Western North Region of Ghana. To present unbiased estimates, the instrumental variable regression technique was applied to control for endogeneity. Results indicated that climate change anxiety and knowledge significantly increase climate change adaptation among farmers. Also, climate change experien…
Amplifying circular technological innovation for low greenhouse emissions
This paper aims to examine the causal effect of circular technological innovation on greenhouse gas emissions. In the study, panel data are collected from 30 advanced and emerging economies spanning more than two decades, and a recently innovated instrumental variable approach with a common factor error structure is used to analyze dynamic panel data. The results provide robust findings during sensitivity tests. We find that technological innovat…
Sub-Saharan Africa's Tragedy
This study utilized instrumental variable techniques and the Driscoll-Kraay estimator to examine the effect of democracy and natural resources on income inequality using a comprehensive panel dataset from 43 sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The findings from our empirical analysis indicated that natural resources and democracy indices such as electoral, liberal, participatory, deliberative, and egalitarian drive income inequality in SSA. Regional compar…
Rural water project planning and evaluation in Ghana
Community water projects offer an economically attractive and physically accessible solution for livelihoods. Piase Community Water Project (PCWP) was initiated in 2005 to provide potable water to the rural communities surrounding Piase. Using data from a field survey with sampled participants in the Bosomtwe district, where this rural water project was implemented, the paper analyses challenges encountered during the project's progress. An advan…

Actor‐network analysis of community‐based organisations in health pandemics
Freetown, Sierra Leone, is confronted with health risks that are compounded by rapid unplanned urbanisation and weak capacities of local government institutions. Addressing them implies a shared responsibility between government and non‐state actors. In low‐income areas, the role of community‐based organisations (CBOs) in combating health disasters is well‐recognised. Yet, empirical evidence on how they have utilised their networks and coordinate…

Is regional government-governance nexus delivering on social sustainability promises? Empirical evidence from Moranbah in Australia
Social sustainability, in theory, should result in responsiveness to change, a durable sense of community trust and interdependent institutional structures. However, recent studies indicate that current sustainability efforts of regional local government are not yielding anticipated outcomes. Drawing on two social theories of Henri Lefebvre, this paper offers an empirical analysis of the ability of the government–governance nexus to deliver on so…
Empowerment and community salience in multi-party collaboration
Despite the plethora of works on empowerment, questions remain regarding when and how empowerment impacts a community group’s salience in multi-party collaboration. This article uses an Australian context to examine the relationship between empowerment and salience in local development partnerships. In doing this, it uses bivariate, multinomial logistics and thematic analyses to build an empirical case that empowerment is one driver of change in …
Reimaging socio-spatial planning
Socio-spatial planning forums are shedding light on how people embrace, contest or reject social changes. These understandings are now being used to explore sense of place and social sustainability approaches in spatial studies, and provide input into the formulation of socio-spatial planning interventions. Research evidence, however, suggests that the integration of elements from each approach into a unified working model can help overcome exist…
